1. Why did Parvana's family embrace Shauzia as if she was an old friend, even though they had not met her before?

I think because she was tryng to act like a boy just like Parvana is doing. So they understand there not the only one doing that.


2. How do you think Parvana felt about running into Shauzia. How would you feel in Parvana's situation? Make a connection to an experience you've had, or another text.
I think because know Parvana is understanding she is not the only one going through this there are other girls going through the same thing as Parvana is.



3. Why might Parvana feel uncomfortable about digging up bones for money? Would you dig up the bones? Explain your thinking.

I think because she fells like, ''This is the way we have to live.'' But she knows she is doing it to help the family survive. I would do the same thing for my family too.



4. Why did Parvana keep her work digging up bones a secret from her family. Try and come up with a least two reasons.

Because she was scared her mom will stop her and they will not get the money. Parvana knew it was the right thing and it was better for her mom not to know.
